Obynolee: Reaching out to the opposition is a normal politics that has to be played. The opposition could use some very minute excuse(not even remotely close to corruption eg little misunderstanding on the CV can be used as an excuse) to disqualify the candidates but the Presidency has to guide against such by reaching out to them. These is different from the Senators demanding that the President submits the full list which is not provided in the constitution. |

modath: Bros, Slow down there.........stop spewing Ignorance 1. The Federal government has stopped JV arrangements over 20years ago 2. Today all Oil wells belong to the FG. Non-JV Oil companies are mere contractors/custodian/License holders. 3. It is an outright FALSEHOOD, to alledge that 75-80% of wells being owned by northerners. This lie started by Senator Ita Enang is in bad taste, many of you guys spread, sometimes ignorantly and sometimes maliciously.

Opinedecandid: It is you that should not say what you don't know. Here is what the constitution says Chapter 6. Part 1. Section 147. Ministers of federal Government (1) There shall be such offices of Ministers of the Government of the Federation as may be established by the President. (May not must) (2) Any appointment to the office of Minister of the Government of the Federation shall, if the nomination of any person to such office is confirmed by the Senate, be made by the President. (3) Any appointment under subsection (2) of this section by the President shall be in conformity with the provisions of section 14(3) of this Constitution:- provided that in giving effect to the provisions aforesaid the President shall appoint at least one Minister from each State, who shall be an indigene of such State. (4) Where a member of the National Assembly or of a House of Assembly is appointed as Minister of the Government of the Federation, he shall be deemed to have resigned his membership of the National Assembly or of the House of Assembly on his taking the oath of office as Minister. (5) No person shall be appointed as a Minister of the Government of the Federation unless he is qualified for election as a member of the House of Representatives. (6) An appointment to any of the offices aforesaid shall be deemed to have been made where no return has been received from the Senate within twenty-one working days of the receipt of nomination by the Senate. See the No.6: if the Senate does nothing on the list within 21days, then the people would become automatic ministers. Remember it is 5 working days already, next week tuesday will make it 10. |

When Obj was overseeing the petroleum ministry did anybody screened him ? The law makers should thread softly ..There should be no application of Takar & Dabor principle in this matter ..Let all be patriotic to the country because that is primary demand of our constitution ..If the game is taking too far the masses will suffer because they won't be able to enjoy the dividends of democracy 1 Like |

Gabbysky:Hey if you don't know anything ask, the constitution say each state most be represented but does not indicate that all ministers should appointed once. Also the constitution says the president should appoint ministers from each states but does not give specific time to do so. Mind you this might just be a test from PMB to the senators to know how they will react. I just dey laugh at some of them wey dey shout EFCC. And ICPC, when them start now all of them will be running up and down. They all have skeletons in their cupboards. |

mapet: Own the license if that is what you prefer!! Like you didn't understand my point. ![]() BUT Do you think its right for an Individual/ portfolio coy to be contractors/custodian/License holders as you are claiming with zero technical expertise in the field ![]() Tell me how many of them actually utilise the licenses, they in turn contract it out to major oil coys like folorunsho alakija did with chevron on the agbami oil field& danjuma did with Agip. Minus the relationship to the govt of the day, what other criteria was used for the awards? Get off your high horse, we are not all ignorant, neither are all objection malicious.. It is wrong, that is all!! I'm no tribalist.. |

Firefire:Many voted for him because he is a retired General therefore he will win Boko Haram within three months , over four months now Boko Haram is getting stronger. Even if he is made the Minister of Petroleum, things may even get worse. We had the people that read in the best university in the world in managing our oil, we are still here much more when a "school certificate" is in charge. |

[quote author=byrron post=38739549]• May reject incomplete list, screen Buhari for petroleum slot • To refer corruption petitions against nominees to EFCC, ICPC AS the Senate today, unveils the ministerial list it received from President Muhammadu Buhari last Thursday, some senators have provided insight into how the screening and confirmation of nominees would be done. Some of them, who spoke on the terms and conditions that would guide the screening at the National Assembly yesterday hinted that the upper legislative chamber would adopt stringent measures in line with the provisions of the Constitution. The senators made it clear that any list that does not cover the 36 states of the Federation will meet serious opposition on the floor. A People’s Democratic Party (PDP) senator, representing Abia North, Mao Ohuabunwa, said the list of ministerial nominees is expected to be complete in line with the Constitution. “The Constitution does not support appointment of ministers in batches. Every state must be represented but if the number is not complete, some of us may raise constitutional issues. If we have to wait for another three months for him to send another list comprising representatives of other states, it means those states would be non-functional,” he said. On petitions against some nominees, Ohuabunwa noted such issues would not be ignored in the process of screening. According to him, since the present administration of All Progressives Congress (APC) would want to be remembered for curbing corruption, it would be counter-productive to overlook any allegations of corruption leveled against any nominee. He said: “This government would want to be remembered for fighting corruption and so, it will be unacceptable that the Senate sees a strong petition alleging corruption and ignores it. “Even if it means writing the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) or Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) to give us a report, we will do so.” According to him, screening is not a tea party and only trusted nominees with serious and in-depth knowledge would be confirmed. On the issue of usual style of asking some nominees to ‘take a bow and go,’ Ohuabunwa said it was assumed that the upper chamber would be guided by the Constitution and the rules of the Senate PDP re stupidly revealin some abnormal norms... Apc don make dem get sense "Take a bow n go" era don end |

modath: 1. As much as I try to hold off, your ignorance still amazes me. Please accept that your knowledge of oil and gas is not beyond what you skim from pages of blogs and online news......... 2. The PSC regime clearly states that the FG is the OWNER of all Oil and Gas assets. Producing communities and by extension states are other stakeholders. In a PSC arrangement government is the owner of all assets including the one you put on ground 3. Who told you companies have zero technical expertise ![]() The question of what is fair is relative. First off, the Federal government offer licenses for take either in bid rounds or discretionary awards. In bid-round it's a case of winner takes it. You outbid your opponents, you get the license. In discretionary awards a lot come into play. Yes ex-heads of states, government officials and friends are given these licenses, but not free of charge. These people then go look for foreign partners. 4. In the industry, you cannot even operate the license if you don't have the expertise and war-chest. Many of these OPLs are lying there for over a decade because the owners cannot secure the requisite investments to explore not to talk of development and production. Imagine if you're to invest $100m in exploration and you find nothing. This explains the foreign investors presence. 5. Your Alakija angle just sparks naivety on your part. Even before she came into the scene, many indigenous producers had partnered with multinationals on working equity basis. This is the fastest way to develop an asset at a relatively quicker means and will not put a huge debt burden on you. Besides banks are slow to fund exploration exercise. So if banks wont fund exploration, is it not better to solicit the assistance of the multinationals who have the resources and experience? 6. If you want to know what criteria was used for award of license, you need to go to the NNPC website and read it up. Yes some friends of the government get the license and it cuts across all tribes. 7. On this, you're flat-out ignorant. Please stop flying ridiculous statement from a more ignorant Senator Enag. Ownership of oil asset is NOT 75-80% North...... |

mapet: I never claimed to be a pipeline engineer neither did I present myself as being oil & gas savvy, but I read (which 90% of Nigerians doneven bother to) & keep abreast of current trends & events, so using technical terms does not negate the question I asked you.. OPL OML jv assets, whatever you say, two things are well known.. 1. The licences are only awarded to cronies of the government of the day & done in utmost secrecy. it never gets in the public domain till it becomes a source of controversy.. 2.The list of oil block licenses we've seen are filled with majority northeners & until another is brought out to counter that, that is the official List... There are crops of young & vibrant biz ppl who can assemble consortium of investors to bid on these licenses but for the naija factor of [/b]man know man & political patronage...[/b] We are discussing corruption & fairness, you are the one making it a tribal issue...

Re: Senators Give Terms For Confirming Ministers by jomoh: 3:32pm On Oct 07, 2015 |
Opinedecandid: Oga Ignorance is a disease, refusing to learn is like gradually committing suicide. Ask your ignorant mind these questions. 1. Has the president said he won't appoint ministers for the remaining states? NO. 2. Has he submitted two names for one state? NO. Then what has these section you quoted got to do with the call for submission of complete list. If truly you know your law like you claim, you will know that the "shall" that you quote up there will be rendered useless if the President decides not to appoint Ministers. Now sit down and let me educate you because am sure you won't understand what I wrote up there. By the "may" in the Section 1 of that chapter of the constitution, the President has been given the power/liberty to either choose to appoint Ministers or choose not to. now with this lesson go back to my initial post, read again and regurgitate on it. |
